BBC verify has geolocated video footage that appears to show the early stages of a fire in a high-rise public housing complex in Hong Kong and how quickly it spread.
The video shows a fire breaking out in Wang Cheong Building, which is consistent with the statement by Hong Kong Fire Services Department Deputy Commissioner Chan Chi-keung, who confirmed the location of the fire.
People who posted the video on social media site Threads said they heard an explosion before seeing the fire at 14:51 local time (06:51 GMT).
The first firefighters arrived six minutes later, by which time the fire had spread to the fourth floor, they said.
The fire has spread to seven buildings in Tai Po District, killing at least 75 people and leaving nearly 300 missing.
